Since orange is the color for leukemia awareness, the group decorated the town with orange plastic flamingoes for the fundraiser.

"It was mostly about getting as many out before she came home from the hospital, so she'd drive through town and see them, and know that everyone was thinking of her and praying for her and her family," Tippy Johnston, a family friend, told New Hampshire television station WMUR-TV.

On September 1, the Weare police department reportedly received an anonymous letter from the thieves. According to a Facebook post by the department featuring a photo of the letter, the thieves returned all of the stolen flamingoes.

"We are truly sorry for our actions and had no idea what the flamingoes on Colby Road symbolized. We would have never taken them," the letter reads. "[We] will never do anything like this again."

The Facebook post of the letter received over 300 likes as of September 2.

In the letter's envelope, the thieves also included a small monetary donation to #AbbyStrong.

The do-gooder group is now offering bracelets so that residents of Weare can show their support.
